Yeah and do that first rather than going to the tower, because Spider immediately sends you there anyway.

I mean people definitely aren’t gonna like the rollout they’re doing. Destiny players already complain about time gating just for single exotic quests and this is pretty much an entire time gated DLC. We won’t know its full extent of content for like another month and a half.

Black Armory did not launch today.

It launches in 1-2 weeks when we're 625 and can dip a toe in ANY of the new content.

Time to run some Milestones

Black Armory doesn't have a single date when it all appears as a big dump of content like previous expansions, it's an experiment in maintaining a steady trickle of content over a prolonged period. The Dreaming City model expanded to months instead of weeks.

No, it's not an experiment. It's Warmind Redux.

Grind Forsaken content for 2-3 weeks and then start enjoying the new expansion content.

Warmind even trickled in the loot over 5 weeks via the quest lines and EP rotations.

There will almost certainly be a Shattered Throne-style dungeon in early January, but yeah, no new strikes.

We were all under leveled for dreaming city at the start and that turned out okay.

Seems like the biggest miss so far is there's no cool introductory splash.

yeah Dreaming City was rough business for a while. I'd much rather it be higher light now because it gives us something to do for longer? Right?

Yeah but there was a whole bunch of new stuff to do before you could even get there. From what I'm reading, with Black Forge we have to do all the normal milestones we've been doing for at least a couple weeks before we can even do the new thing. Or are there new milestones, or any new activities other than the Forge?

There is a new quest today to kill a bunch of yellow bars. Then you'll be stuck at "Ignite the Forge" which appears to require approximately 630LL to complete.

All of the Black Armory content is hidden behind "Ignite the Forge"

Just keep grinding on your Pinnacle Weapons and your Milestones and you'll get there.

Imagine if today they said “the light cap is now 650, come back and play milestones to get more powerfuller loot and maybe bump yourself past some content by being slightly over leveled” then when a normal human could be leveled, actually new content drops. That sounds awesome.

That's loving dumb, I'm grinding another mi in that case. Holy poo poo, instead of actuality doing anything to make it not dumb they doubled down.

I read the posts from October where it was discussed and taken back to the team and lol they keep it as is.

And here I thought the whole time I was ghosting a bolt, nope lol.

That's the whole issue, the perks have always been like that, and masterworks were intended to be a bonus to performance with no negatives.

The mw didn't even register the decrease in impact on their stat bars til today. Lol

They said the expansion were not going to be massive story dumps with no endgame but more activities and loot.

The problem is you can’t even play them yet you gotta do all the old poo poo for two weeks or more to get your LL up first.

This is a giant wet fart, but bad

It sounds like you can "play" them but you aren't going to be able to make meaningful progress through the activity without getting more light and/or being super tryhard

I just remembered that they made this same mistake with EP originally and had to reduce the LL requirements for each tier, heh

I know "mon" means man, but I don't think "Och" means anything.

I'm surprised they didn't have the first forge be 600, then the next one be 625 or something, then the last one like 640 or so. That way you could dive right into the first forge the day it comes out instead of repeating Forsaken milestones for a couple weeks first. Just a weird decision imo.

You can either follow me to our bedroom or bend over that control throne because I haven't been this turned on in FOREVER!
alternately they could have let you start building your PL last week instead of waiting until this week to get powerful drops! that would have also been a solution

I don’t want drip fed content that’s released 30 power levels over the current feasible light. That’s lame. Either bump the global level first or drop the content level on release.
